Chapter 356

Scott wants us to help them, Alex said. They’ll break out from the inside while well push outside Together we ll take Crestford. All resources will be split evenly.

Hayley thought it over for a moment. ‘Let’s talk after we finish taking Aecraton

the

There won’t be time,” Alex said. “According to my models, the next year is our best window. Zombies are evolving too fast. If we wait another year, the difficulty in Crestford will jump ten to twenty times itll be almost impossible.”

After hearing Alex out, Hayley fell silent.

He was right. There really wasn’t enough time.

They were already at the start of the second year of the apocalypse. Based on their current pace in Aecraton, there was no way they could take the last two districts in less than a full year.

If she finished stabilizing Aecraton and then turned to Crestford, it would already be the third year. By then, zombies would’ve fully evolved Taking Crestford would be brutally difficult.

But still

“There’s one more thing, Captain Reid Ales said, zooming the model out and switching the display to Brookville

“Brookville has completely fallen Large zombie flows are spreading out and constantly attacking nearby small bases Just this past week, seven more bases were wiped out.”

Around Brookville, only a handful of white dots remained

“These remaining bases have all sent us distress calls. They say they’ve tried desperately to break out, but they just aren’t strong enough. They’re asking us to pull them out.”

Alex played an audio recording.

A heavy, earnest voice came through the speakers.

“Respected Haylight League leader, Ms. Reid. Hello. I’m Kit Graves, the leader of Milky Way Base Our base has a total of 213 people. We’re from different parts of Brookville. We have children, elderly people, and pregnant women. Just this year, our base welcomed a newborn life. I know telling you this might sound meaningless, but I still want you to know.

All 213 of us are trying our best to survive. We heard your previous instructions, telling us to break out on our own. We tried 3 times and lost 79 people. We’re down to 134 now. We really are trying, but we re just too weak.

“We really need your help. Please give us a hand. Help us just once. If our people are rescued, everyone in our base is willing to do anything for Haylight League’

Aside from those bases that only complained and blamed fate, there were many more like this. Actively trying to survive, but simply lacking strength.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to join. They genuinely couldn’t.

Strength wasn’t just about willpower. External capability mattered even more
